British divers have located the wreckage of the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Tampa, one of the largest naval losses of World War I, which sank after being torpedoed, resulting in the tragic deaths of all 131 crew members on board. This discovery, made off the coast of Cornwall, ends a century-long mystery concerning the final resting place of the ship, confirming the events surrounding its sinking in 1918. The Tampa, named in connection to Gasparilla, has now been found deep in the Atlantic, providing closure for the families of those lost and a significant piece of maritime history.
